![]() (Well, okay, digital processes inherently add latency, so let’s assume extreme-low-latency). Advanced cabinet, mic modeling: NI says they’ve applied latency-free convolution in order to get more precise models from their software.There’s more talk of convolution – here, “latency-free” convolution – but I know NI’s tools often use different techniques for the different products, which means this may not be exactly what’s showing up in Kontakt more on that once I find out exactly what they’ve done. Where do you go in a crowded guitar emulation market, with a package that’s already crammed with sound tools? NI has chosen to focus on the speakers/cabinet/mic. A stack of belgian waffles, dripping in syrup.A new sound browser with “more musical” terms.Multi Scripts for Kontakt scripting users.Sample compression to save on resources – without losing audio fidelity or taxing the CPU, says NI.(Yeah, see what I just said? You’re going to want to route synths through AET, too, aren’t you?) (In other words, it squishes your sample together with the analyzed behavior of a real-world instrument.) It’s a unique-sounding process, and one I’d love to hear warped to unusual sound design purposes – not just faking real instruments, but inventing new ones. Authentic Expression Technology (AET) What? A process that mimics authentic instruments – with an obscure acronym to match? Is NI channeling Roland? AET isn’t quite like anything I’ve heard before, with a “phase-corrected convolution” based on an analysis of the original acoustic instrument sample. ![]() I’m thinking Absynth may have company on that alien planet. ![]() Somewhere, someone is thinking of realistic purposes for that. In less than a month and a half, they’re back to announce version 4.Īnd it does sophisticated live convolution of samples. That was no minor update, either, featuring 64-bit memory support (on Windows) and greater 32-bit memory (up to 32 GB on Mac), plus improved from-disk streaming, multi-core support, MIDI learn, and other enhanced features and compatibility. You see, Native Instruments only updated its flagship sampler to 3.5 as recently as July. Absynth might qualify for when you move to a different planet. I have a small selection of “desert island” synths. Those new filters and processors sound really extraordinary to me.
